*NOTE: Pre-drill holes for all Lag Bolts with the appropriate drill bit.
1. On the ground, place Swing Beam (346) on top of Swing Beam Block (81). Align pre-drilled hole and
attach through 45 Bracket (N170) using Bolt Cup (N29), 1/2" Hardware (H4), and 3/8" Hardware
(H56) (H3) (H11) (H17).
2. Make sure Swing Beam (346) is centered on the Swing Beam Block (81). Position 90 Brackets
(N171) on Swing Beam Block (81), up against the Swing Beam (346), and attach using Bolt Cups
(N73), #14 Hardware (H164), 1/4" Hardware (H1) (H100) and 5/16" Hardware (H108) (as shown in
Inset B).
3. Lift Swing Beam assembly into position on top of the Top Joist (643) and attach through Swing Beam
(346) and Swing Beam Plate (N10) using 1/2" Hardware (H4) and 3/8" Hardware (H50) (H60) (H3)
(H11) (H17) (as shown in Inset A).
*NOTE: For ease of installation, insert Carriage Bolt (H60) through the Swing Beam (346), and
then insert Carriage Bolts (H50). Do not tighten hardware at this time.
4. Lift Swing Beam assembly up until A-Frame Legs hold Swing Beam in a level position.
*CAUTION: Legs will close inward as Swing Beam is lifted up into position.
*SUGGESTION: Use at least two people to lift Swing Beam assembly.
*CAUTION: Legs are very unstable until Cross Member (78) is installed.
5. Tighten Hex Head Bolt (H139) that goes through A-Frame Legs (77) and A-Frame Block assembly
and attach 3/8" Hardware (H28). Tighten all hardware that goes through Swing Beam Plate (N10) at
this time.
6. Hold A-Frame Cross Member (78) in a level position against A-Frame Legs (77) so holes are centered
on A-Frame Legs, and drill through A-Frame Legs using a 7/16" drill bit. Attach Cross Member using
3/8" Hardware (H55) (H3) (H11) (H17) and 1/2" Hardware (H4).
7. Attach A-Frame Legs (77) to A-Frame Blocks using 1/4" Hardware (H1) (H100).
